The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 138 Master Ye's Tragic Ending, Zhu Yuanzhang Gives Death and Li Shanchang Dies!

The gap between the tiles directly above the candle holder of Li Shanchang's desk is less than the width of one eye. It can be said that the gap is as wide as the pupil.

Mao Xiang lay on it, which can really be said to be a real "ground investigation"!
It is also because of this that he has achieved the black clothes, black night and black tiles!
The reason why Mao Xiang is so cautious is because the object of his investigation is another old fox in the Ming Dynasty.

In his opinion, there are only three old foxes in the Ming Dynasty. The first is Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor he is loyal to, the second is Liu Bowen who is already sick, and the third is Li Shanchang under his nose.

As for Hu Weiyong, who is now proud of his position, in Mao Xiang's opinion, he is not worthy of the word "old fox" at all, but it is just a tool for Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang to play games.

But people feel very good about themselves, and they think that Hu Weiyong is the old fox who reaps the benefits of the fisherman!
Of course, this old fox's ranking is only his cognition before he met Ye Qing.

After getting to know Ye Qing, he doesn't know who is the number one old fox in the Ming Dynasty!
Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang, the number one old fox in Ming Dynasty, suffered a lot in front of Ye Qing, a little fox!
But this is only the first round, and the outcome is still unpredictable!
But Mao Xiang, like Empress Ma, hoped that Ye Qing could replace Liu Bowen as soon as possible and become a potential little fox who could help Zhu Yuanzhang suppress Huaixi nobles.

Such a result is not only the best for them, but also the best for Liu Bowen.

At the very least, Liu Bowen can go home and live a comfortable life for two days!
It's just that according to his current understanding, Ye Qing doesn't seem to like people like Chaotang at all, even the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Ye Qing's eyes, only Xu Da is qualified to play a game of chess with him!

Thinking of Ye Qing's rhetoric, Mao Xiang felt dizzy, if he didn't change his conceit, he would only kill himself and Xu Da if he came to the court to become an official!

Just when Mao Xiang was thinking like this, Li Shanchang, who was under his nose, spread out the letter unhurriedly, which really made Hu Weiyong's messenger next to him anxious.

It is said that Taishan collapsed in front of him without changing his face, but he still didn't change his face after the fire burned his beard.

This state of mind is also worthy of the word "old fox".

The content of the letter: "My benefactor, Your Majesty left Beijing this time. He said that he was going on tour in a low-level suit to observe the people's sentiments, but in fact he went northward in a low-level suit to investigate Ye Qing, the county magistrate of Yanmen County who reported himself in the self-evaluation memorial! "

"Ye Qingnian is young and frivolous, he doesn't pay attention to you and me at all, the student once wrote a good letter, but he only replied four words 'you are a fart'!"

"On the day your Majesty returned to the palace, he beat up the examiner who made Ye Qing, the county magistrate of Yanmen County, pass the Juren examination, and the official official who let him go to Yanmen County to take office, and then rewarded him generously!"

"Attachment: The original transcript of Ye Qing's three-year exam self-evaluation memorial."

"The minister served as an official for three years"

By candlelight on the desk,

After reading the original text of Ye Qing's memorial, Li Shanchang's deep old eyes revealed a slight hint of horror.

But Mao Xiang, who was putting tiles on top of his head to investigate, was so startled by the original text of the letter that his pupils dilated instantly.

Just for a moment, he thought of the scene when Zhu Yuanzhang saw the memorial and was so angry that he wanted him to kill Ye Qing immediately.

He still still remembers the memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang threw out of the imperial study and was blown swaying by the wind.

At that time, after he took the order, he still stayed there for a while. He really wanted to pick it up to see what kind of memorial it was, and he could write himself as the ending.

But as soon as he left the city, he was overtaken by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma who were on tour in micro-clothes.

So he became curious again.

What kind of memorial is it that allows the emperor to give death quickly and accurately, and then catch up and talk about it, go and see it first?
If he hadn't read the original text of Ye Qing's self-evaluation memorial here, he would never have guessed such a bold and irritating content in his whole life.

But even after reading the original text now, he can only think of the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to kill Ye Qing immediately.

Even if he was thinking about it, he would never be able to figure it out. How could this letter allow Zhu Yuanzhang to look at it after he had just given it to death?
Thinking of this, Mao Xiang focused his attention on Li Shanchang under his nose again.

Mao Xiang's morality is not enough, but Li Shanchang's morality as an old fox should be enough. I only hope that Li Shanchang can solve Mao Xiang's confusion!

Just when Mao Xiang was looking forward to it, Li Shanchang's slightly frowned brows relaxed immediately.

In the eyes of Hu Weiyong's messenger, Li Shanchang just spread out the paper unhurriedly, and then slowly rubbed the ink, writing a reply as if he was enjoying the whole process of calligraphy.

Not only Hu Weiyong's messenger wanted to ghostwrite for him, but even Mao Xiang, who was already lying down a little uncomfortable, wanted to go down and say to Li Shanchang, "You say, I will convey it on your behalf"!
Finally, Li Shanchang started to write.

Li Shanchang wrote back: "Judging from this self-evaluation memorial, it is not surprising that he replied to you so much."

"You should pay attention to this person and deal with it carefully. This person's scheming is not under you and me, not even under the empress!"

When Li Shanchang wrote here, he stopped writing again, just took a sip of tea with deep eyes, and then he looked like a thinker.

Finally, he wrote again: "This man is not only deeply scheming, but also has the ability to lay out the world."

"Only based on this memorial that seems to be asking for a dead end, it is enough to show that he not only knows you Hu Weiyong well enough, but also understands His Majesty and Empress Empress well enough."

"He is sure that after you see this memorial, you will definitely let His Majesty see it too!"

"He is sure that His Majesty will burst into thunderous anger after seeing this memorial!"

"He is quite sure that the empress, who is as careful as a hair, will definitely discover the mystery!"

"And the mystery of this is that no one can do it in three years in that place by greedy for millions of snowflakes!"

"That's why His Majesty and Your Majesty wanted to make a private visit in person, and that's why he wrote such a letter. He hoped that His Majesty would send someone to get in touch with him directly."

"The only way to bypass us is to go straight to Tianting. It's enough to see that this person didn't take us seriously from the beginning."

"This person is still bold and arrogant, he is using his life to win a fate!"

"If the empress does not appear by His Majesty at the right time and does not remind His Majesty, he may really be given death."

"Being so acted is quite intended to be a master of Taoism. If there is no such fate, even if you are convicted and ascended to heaven, you will not be used by Fanhuang."

"But once there is this fate, then they are Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng of the Ming Dynasty. If this situation is facilitated, we will fall into an extremely passive situation!"

"Fortunately, he didn't expect His Majesty and Your Majesty to subdue it in person. Judging from His Majesty's behavior of beating and punishing us, we still have a chance!"

"You should wait and see what happens, and don't rush to participate in this person. Just pretend that this person never existed in the world, and pretend that your majesty has never made a tour in disguise."

"Your Majesty beat and punished him, which is enough to show that His Majesty appreciates this person's talent, but also hates this person's style!"

"Geniuses are mostly mavericks, which often lead to the result that the emperor uses them first and then kills them!"

"Now, you should be as steady as a turtle and wait for the opportunity to move. Once this person makes a big mistake, he will hit the vital point and kill him with one move!"

"."

Finally, Li Shanchang put the letter in the envelope and began to seal it with wax slowly.

At this moment, the tile above his head, which was opened with a small gap, also began to slowly close.

Really slow, as slow as Lee Seon Jang's wax seal.

Finally, Mao Xiang turned over slowly, sat on the roof, and looked in the direction of Yanmen County.

The current Mao Xiang can be said to be enlightened by an expert, and all the problems that cannot be figured out have been figured out.

What he had seen and heard about Yanmen County kept flashing in his mind,

Ye Qing used a method that was not accepted by the world to seek happiness for the common people.

He also used a high salary to maintain integrity, so that if he really wanted to die, he could go to the guillotine alone.

He also contributed money to open an arsenal, just to replace the Yanmen garrison with better equipment.

He even made a contribution to creation by researching a new rice seed with an yield of more than [-] catties per mu, although this has not yet been confirmed.

But personally, he just wants to believe that's the truth.

He believes so much in this unproven fact, not because he received Ye Qing's super-standard hospitality, but because of what he has learned, Ye Qing 'does what he says' time and time again!
Yes,

All the above-mentioned experiences correspond to the word 'genius' written by Li Shanchang!
And Ye Qing's words and deeds that made Zhu Yuanzhang almost lose his sense of restraint, corresponded to the four words 'unique' in Li Shanchang's pen.

Not only that, Li Shanchang's analysis of the original text of the self-reporting letter also made him understand the real reason for giving him a chance to wait and see.

Zhu Yuanzhang first died in a panic, and then he took Empress Ma to catch up with him, and let's talk about it instead!
Why did you bring Queen Ma?
It must be like Li Shanchang's analysis, it was Empress Ma who first discovered the problem, and it was Empress Ma who suggested to catch up quickly, so as not to kill loyal and talented people by mistake!

Thinking of this, Mao Xiang had to admit that an old fox is an old fox!
With only one letter explaining the situation, he analyzed it so well, even more comprehensively than he, the person who witnessed everything in person.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about Ye Qing again.

He was worried about Ye Qing's final outcome, as Li Shanchang said in his letter 'the emperor will use it first and then kill it'.

It can also be said that if Ye Qing didn't change his eloquence, and still acted alone like this, he must have ended up like this.

Of course, it wasn't just this ending that he was worried about.

He was also worried that Ye Qing wouldn't be able to wait until the step of 'the emperor uses it first', and he would be defeated by Li Shanchang who was in Haozhou and was still strategizing!

Just when Mao Xiang was so worried,
Hu Weiyong's messenger went out immediately, and Li Shanchang also walked to the middle of the courtyard and looked in the direction of Yanmen County.

Li Shanchang just said in a leisurely tone: "The old man is already fifty-nine, and he can be regarded as a sixtieth person."

"I really didn't expect that before I was buried, I could meet such a great talent again."

"Ye Qing?"

"It's a great pity in life that this old man can't accept you as an apprentice!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Shanchang's face and eyes changed immediately.

The previous sympathy for each other has directly become his true face, Li Shanchang, that is the jealousy and jealousy, or the kind of jealousy and jealousy of "either join my family or die"!

A few days later in the morning,
Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang went to court, Mao Xiang came to his imperial study!
　I beg the officials to subscribe and support, thank you, sorry for being late, there is an update today!
